JENNIE I wonder if the Newtons would have any more than they want. ETHEL I’ll run up to where they are eating and see. _Exit Ethel. Enter Harry in baseball suit._ HARRY My, but this shady place feels refreshing. Wow! Such a hypnotizing odor. Better watch me. I’m liable to go into a spell and eat the whole works. I feel like a starved wolf. MR. BENSON What’s the matter with you fellers, Harry—didn’t I hear you say our club had a better nine than the Lyon Club? HARRY Can’t expect to beat that umpire. We got another one for this afternoon’s game and I’ll bet they don’t beat us then. That umpire this morning was absolutely “rotten.” He called me out twice on second base and I was there a mile before the ball both times. Called Jones out on a home base and the catcher dropped the ball before he even touched him. We had to strike at everything that came along, for he’d call it a strike anyway. JENNIE We hope you’ll beat this afternoon. Are you too tired to get a pail of water from the spring? HARRY Not if you will have dinner ready when I get back. _Takes bucket on exit._ MR. BENSON I wonder why Hiram and his wife ain’t here to-day. They’re generally along the first ones at a picnic. MRS. BENSON I was talking with her over the phone yesterday and she said they were coming. MR. BENSON Doesn’t seem quite natural without Hiram around. _Enter Ethel with Floyd._ ETHEL Opal, I brought Floyd down to play with you. OPAL _Jumping from swing clapping hands._ Oh goodie, won’t you swing me, Floyd? ETHEL Here is lots of sugar. JENNIE Good, Harry has gone after the water. MRS. BENSON I guess everything is all ready when he gets here. _Enter Harry with water._ HARRY I feel just like a starved bear. If dinner isn’t ready I’m going to jump in this bucket of water and drown myself. _Ethel and Jennie busy making lemonade._ JENNIE All we’d need to do would be to pour in this juice and sugar (_they do so_) and you’d soon drink the pond dry. HARRY Yes, and I’d do it so quick I wouldn’t even get wet. _Exit Opal and Floyd._ ETHEL If you people are hungry, get around here, it’s all ready. JENNIE Grandma, you and grandpa sit around here. HARRY I’ll sit close to the salad.
